But it's not as fluffy and snow white as you might think. These dragons are scary and devour sacrificial virgins. And the special effects still hold up today.

This horror, comedy, movie musical is outstanding! It's full of great, campy musical numbers and ghoulish carnage. Steve Martin is amazing as a sadistic dentist and bullying boyfriend.

This movie was majorly traumatic for me. Majorly. As in, to this day I can't walk the 1/4 mile from my cottage in Ireland to the neighbor's at night. I honestly can't.

As in, to this day I can't walk the 1/4 mile from my cottage in Ireland to the neighbor's at night. I honestly can't. Logically, I know that werewolves don't exist. But that doesn't seem to matter in the moment. Sigh. It effed me up. Big time.
Now, that wouldn't have happened if I had been able to sit through more than 20 minutes of it when I first saw it at age ten. I would have discovered it was fairly campy and unrealistic in its close-ups of the werewolf. But I didn't find that out until college, when the damage was already done.
Nope, that first 20 minutes messed me up and it messed me up big-time. It was the scene with the guy from the old Dr. Pepper commercials- David Naughton- and his friend. Silly boys. They had to go and venture off the moonlit path. And I, an innocent child, paid the price when one of 'em got ripped apart. Oh well. Enjoy.

This is an amazing Peter Jackson film (pre Lord of the RIngs) Jackson's career trajectory really leaves me confused. He went from gory low brow B movies like Bad Taste to mainstream fair like Heavenly Creatures to Lord of the Ring...This is an amazing Peter Jackson film (pre Lord of the RIngs) Jackson's career trajectory really leaves me confused. He went from gory low brow B movies like Bad Taste to mainstream fair like Heavenly Creatures to Lord of the Rings. Consistency, please.
Heavenly Creatures is at first a sweet movie about the friendship between two teen girls that moves to being a little odd, to awkward, to disturbing. One of these girls is crazy and takes the other one to crazytown with her.

And this demon wants a prodige. So the townspeople must willingly give up one of their own children or face total annihilation (a la the colony on Roanoke Island that disappeared mysteriously). The morally flawless facade of the town destroyed as dirty secrets are revealed.

The 80's had the whole werewolf genre down to a science. Werewolves were the monsters to be afraid of. Forget terrorists. Werewolves, man. Werewolves. Ok, so along with American Werewolf in London, The Howling was pee in your pant...The 80's had the whole werewolf genre down to a science. Werewolves were the monsters to be afraid of. Forget terrorists. Werewolves, man. Werewolves. Ok, so along with American Werewolf in London, The Howling was pee in your pants scary. Although this movie was straight up horror. No funnies about it. Watch it at night when you're home alone.

I group of good friends rallies behind one of them who's going through a dark time (lost her family in an accident). They decide to go on a cave diving expedition like the use to in the old days. However, this time around they run into something sinister and deadly. The fight for their lives begins. If you're claustrophobic and afraid of the dark, don't watch this movie. Or maybe you should.
MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ORIGINAL VERSION! The U.S. version has a different ending. Blah.
